A word of warning..

Make sure you get VW 8 spokes and not the smaller 13" datsun 8 spokes, they look identical except the wheel bolt holes are slightly different.

This meant people tried to ovalise the wholes to get them to fit.

If you look at the 14 without the LOGO it is drilled Different look  ::) at the Index of the Cap screws Looks like they drilled threw the Logo for the Lug Pattern ;D ;D ;D

I have a set of 15's

I now have 3 center caps, and no mounting HW, and I have started the restoration process.

They were sourced off eBay and theSamba, one pair from each place...

They will go on my Ghia
